Getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19 after being vaccinated is possible, but very rare (and much more so than from other everyday causes)

Different vaccines against COVID-19 have different degrees of effectiveness, but none reaches 100%. That means it is possible to contract the disease even after receiving the full course of the vaccine, although it is an extremely rare possibility. In the United States, where more than 76 million people have already been vaccinated with the full cycle, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported 5,800 cases of infections after being vaccinated when the total number of vaccinated was 66 million. That is, an incidence of 0.0088%.

Of those 5,800 cases, 29% contracted the disease asymptomatically, and only 7% required hospitalization. The death toll is 74, only 1.3% of those infected. In other words: of the 66 million vaccinated, only 0.0001% died of COVID-19, and the vast majority of those who still got it did so without serious symptoms. Exactly as the forecasts marked at the beginning of the vaccination campaign. “The vaccination is working exactly as we hoped,” Jinlene Chan, acting assistant secretary for public health services for Maryland, told Wall Street Journal.

The power of mobile phones has increased to such an extent that some models are virtually indistinguishable from pocket personal computers, and with this increase in power problems have arisen to be solved. The main one, that of heat dissipation that is generated when we tighten the nuts to the processor of our mobile.

Xiaomi, now, has told us what system it has designed and built to dissipate the heat of its folding (the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold) which, as you also tell us, faced additional problems.
